Expert Review
Our comprehensive analysis and verdict
Pros
- Unparalleled gaming performance and sustained power delivery, especially with the AeroActive Cooler X.
- Vastly improved camera system with a 6-axis gimbal main sensor and a 3x telephoto lens, making it a capable all-around shooter.
- Premium, less gamery design with an IP68 dust/water resistance rating and wireless charging, enhancing its appeal as a daily driver.
- Exceptional battery life despite a smaller capacity, largely due to efficient hardware and LTPO display technology.
- Highly customizable software experience with Game Genie and Armory Crate, offering granular control over performance and gaming features.
Cons
- Only promises two major Android OS updates and four years of security updates, which is shorter than some competing flagships in its price range.
- The price remains at the higher end of the market, potentially deterring users seeking a more value-oriented flagship.
- Speakers, while still good, are no longer front-firing and do not get as loud as previous ROG Phone models.
- AirTriggers have been slightly downgraded, losing some advanced gesture support like long presses and swipes.
- The display is FHD+ rather than QHD+, which some might expect at this premium price point, though it remains sharp.
